Team Focker Watch, Part 12. Have we jumped the shark yet?

Oooh, I want one of these. What brand did you get?

We got a SteamFast Steam Max model. It had good reviews on amazon, and I had a $25 gift cert from doing survey taking online, so we managed to get it for $55. :thumbsup2

But those are important plans;):lmao:

Thanks, so was napping.

Good about the warranty. Maybe it is overheating? Have you invested in one of those cooler things that you put under the laptop?

No, because it sits on my coffee table 99% of the time (or, frankly, on my lap.) I didn't get there today.

Work today, but I have to leave early. I have a follow up with the ear doctor for another hearing test. Hearing seems to be fine now so I have a feeling it was all related to the massive sinus infection

Hope it turns out well!

I make a list and if I don't receive a card from people for a few years I knock them off my list :rotfl2: Hope your migraine gets better and you can play with your new steamer :rotfl2:

Thanks, but no. :(

Sunday is fast approaching. I’m so exited!

HOORAY!

I'm applying the CE rules of cleaning today - work a little then come downstairs to the computer for a little while.

Excellent. Maybe my Focker Title should be changed.

Have so much fun!

CE: are you prone to migraines? You might want to call your dr. :hug:

Yes, and it's actually been better. I used to get them every month - I could tell you the exact day of when they'd come. I have a prescription and changed another prescription (without getting graphic) and lately it's been only about every 3 or 4 months, but when they come now, they seem to last longer. :sad2: But, I generally can at least function on the "have to do's" where I know people who truly can't get out of bed when they have migraines, so... I guess I can't complain too much.

Unfortunately I got an e-mail from HR saying that they've decided to go with someone who better meets the qualifications.

Well, dang. I'm sorry. :hug:

It's my boy now... He's been so emotional and smart-mouthed lately. Mel says it's normal for boys from 7-10. Great.

:hug:

Well I actually had quite a bit chopped off :eek: Goodness knows how I'll tie it back at golf tomorrow. I'll have to do it in a baby pony tail and look silly :rotfl2:

See, this is why I'm growing mine back out, even though it's cute short. I cannot control it for tennis, and I can't see to play when it's not back. Is it bad to plan my hair around my amateur sport? :rotfl:

Saturday, Mom and I are headed Stateside to go shopping in Syracuse. Hopefully I don't spend too much money! :laughing: I am mostly looking forward to getting to eat at Pizzeria Uno! :laughing: How sad is that?! We don't have it up here so the only time we get to eat there is when we go shopping in Syracuse or in Florida.

Have fun!

Today is lazy and stinky. It's warm but I am so beat down that I dont wanna do anything.

Right there with ya...

All I did were cards last year and I think I'll stick with that. Thanks, though, for taking charge!
*********************************************************
Ugh, ugh, ugh.

Pretty much the exact same pattern as yesterday. Headache in the morning, but able to do what needed done. Awful by afternoon, I took my meds, but then spent all afternoon on the couch. I wasn't even that tired - I went to bed early-ish last night and slept well, but I guess from just lying down and whatnot, I did sleep some. But now I don't know if I'll be tired for bed at the right time. :guilty:

I did manage to buy myself something online. :rolleyes: We decided for the next tennis match to at least kind of try to match as a team - most of the other teams have the full out matching outfits, but we've never bothered. Well, we decided to do white shirts and black skirts, as everyone has that. It's true that I own that combo, but they are hands down my least favorites - the ones I only wear when I've played four times in a week and everything else is dirty. So I ordered new. I stopped by Sports Authority after class this morning, but they had NO tennis stuff out except one rack of light blue skirts and matching tops. :confused:

My headache is still hanging around. I half think it was at least somewhat brought on by the weather. It was 68 when I left tennis at 10:30. It's down to 62 - something is coming through, the high tomorrow is only supposed to be in the 40's, but the front may be contributing to whatever's happening.

In short, I got nothing done and I feel stressed, but I can't be too mad at myself because I truly hurt. :headache: Sigh.

I hope you've all had better days. :grouphug:
 
Forgot to tell !!!Rumor has it We are getting a bonus check next week!! If the rumor is right it will be like an extra paycheck !!!:worship::worship::banana::banana:

Hi all, :wave: just a quick check in.

:teleport:

Still very quiet here, even Janet's not around :faint: ;) :rotfl: LY/MI Janet :hug:

Rosie that's great about the pay cheque and the cookie making sounded like fun, do you save them for Christmas or eat them now? :rotfl: Can Judy eat much after her op?

Well it's actually pretty sunny here and no rain so I can play my golf match :yay: Just need to win it now though :rotfl:

Near enough all my Moms Panel friends are heading to WDW today :sad1:

Good luck on your golf game Jo. So sorry you are sad about your Mom's Panel friends being in WDW without you :hug:.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am so sorry I haven't been around lately. Between coming back from Disney, Thanksgiving, starting my trip report, Bill getting a cold, then me sick I have been going every which way. I want to make sure I am checking in here more often, you ladies are great and I am going to keep up with this thread :thumbsup2.

Sorry you're missing your MP friends. :hug:

Hey, I just found out Dr. Belle will be at WDW from the 16-23rd! They're staying at the Treehouse Villas first, (so, so cool!) then an AKL grand villa for a few days with her brother, wife, 2 kids, and sister, husband and 1 kid, and parents, all together.

I don't know what your schedule's like, but I'd half like to set up a meet, to have two of my favorite people meet each other, but half would be SO jealous that she got to see you and vice versa... :rotfl: Let me know if you're at all interested. ;)

Welcome back, Tracy! How was the trip? Hope you're both feeling better. :)

**************************************************
Well, I woke up and still have a headache - this is really getting annoying. D has, however, talked me into playing a cardio tennis class with him here in a bit. This isn't my usual fun class, it's the super exercise one that nearly killed me the one time I tried it last year. I don't know how smart it is to do with the headache lingering, but I enjoy my husband's company, and also my tennis friend and her DH take the class, too.

D was invited by my favorite pro to then sub into a "fun" class immediately afterward, so we're driving separately, and I need to go. He's already left, and I'm pushing being late. I just wanted to check in. :goodvibes I anticipate coming back pretty much right after I finish the one class. :wave2:

Welcome back and I am reading your TR:goodvibes

Well, I woke up and still have a headache

Oh no:hug:

Soory all I just quoted today's stuff:goodvibes, but lets see what I remember..

Dawn - A is being moody and Mel told her that it is normal for boys at that age. Say it ain't so:eek: I don't want to have to go through that :faint:

Z - SOrry you didn't get the job:hug:

Rosie - Congrats on the bonus:yay:

T - I like your idea of the seperate colored bows for the kids. I use one wrapping paper for gifts from Santa and no other gifts get wrapped in it. I keep all the gifts locked in the middle room, which is always locked so not suspicious.

==============

That's all I remember...sorry:upsidedow

Work again today, then tonight the boys have scouts so I am going to use that opportunity to return 2 things, 1 to Kohl's and 1 to Target. Then tomorrow we are going to Christmas in Hershey. Should be lots of fun. Weather is calling for 38 degrees and light snow showers. Perfect to get the Christmasy mood!:santa:

I shouldn't be too busy today (fingers crossed) so I hope I can check in more.

BBL!:flower3:

Hi Kat, Lessa, Kristel, Denise, and who'd I miss :wave2:
 
Morning! I'm almost back... my laptop has returned, minus most of its programs and settings. :headache: I've been loading and restarting, loading and restarting, loading and restarting...

Here's what I can't seem to make happen - the text size when in the Internet Explorer browser (DIS, CNN, Yahoo, everywhere) is teeny. I've got it set at Largest Font in View; anyone know what else I can do to adjust it? I'm going blind here.

I neglected to update ya'll on the latest from Bonehead. The moron tried to make me decide for him whether he should pay child support or save money to fly Leo out there. Um, A. child support pays for food, shelter, clothing - is it really a question?! B. Leo can't fly alone and Bonehead's made no plans anyway. Really, he intends to do neither; no child support, no visiting.

THEN, he had the unmitigated nerve to post some nasty stuff about me in his bio on his work website! Yes, the website he uses to promote his "business" now discusses our marriage. For some reason, this has pushed me over the edge; I'm no longer willing to be nice to him.

It's been a fun week. :mad:

Go to the bottom right hand corner when the IE is open. Is there a thing that say a %. click on that and pick a larger percent. Make sense?

Sounds like moron is an understatement. A] He can't NOT pay child support if it is court ordered the plane fare wouldhave to be something extra.

B] No way would I let Jimmy fly alone:scared1:

You think you are cute, don't ya:rolleyes1:mad::lmao::hug:

OMG V :hug: That is so not on and very unprofessional, why do it?!?!?


Well I lost :rotfl2: we played OK and it was a tight game so..... it didn't help though that on our first hole I had put my partner slightly too close to a tree and she decided to hit too big a club and wrapped the club round the tree snapping the club in half :eek: I couldn't believe it :rotfl2: Oh and I put some men in their place and they didn't like it :rotfl2:

:thumbsup2 Though, it distorts stuff, so I can't really use that for working on our work website. But at least I can READ! Thx :hug:
B] No way would I let Jimmy fly alone:scared1:
Technically, Leo can once he reaches age 8... but there's NO WAY he's mature enough to do so, and I can't believe he will be in 6 months. That's an 8-9 hour flight with multiple plane changes; I'll fight tooth and nail to keep that from happening any time soon.

It's totally unprofessional... but he truly doesn't care. First, he's nuts. Second, it's a religious thing; I won't go further, but he thinks he's doing "right." Third - he's nuts. :rotfl:

Will do. I don't have any idea of their plans, except that I know they're attending a MVMCP.

Yeah, that's a tough one. I maybe - MAYBE - next year would allow the kids to go to Chicago alone, if it came up. But that's a direct, 2 hour flight, and they have each other. And there'd really be no reason for them to do so. 10 sounds better to me. :hug:

**********************************************************
Well, as it turned out, they needed me in the second class, so I played tennis for three hours. The cardio wasn't as bad as I feared, but after the second class, my legs feel completely like lead. The good news is that I am not noticing a headache now - whether it's gone, or it's just that my whole body aches now is the question. :rotfl2:

I need a shower very, very badly. Then I may or may not run to the grocery store. I had kind of left today open, feeling like D might want to do stuff as a couple, but he says he has to do some work, so he stayed to shower at the gym, and I never really got whether he's coming home, then going to the library or something, just heading to the library, or coming home to work here. All I know is that he's not here at the moment. ;)

I'm going to go shower and get some lunch. BBL! :wave:
 
CHRISTMAS CARDS

I'll be sending my cards out soon. I know not everybody is doing them this year. I still have the list from last year so I was just going to use that but if anybody has moved since then or if you are a new Focker PM your address to me as I would love to send you a card as well!
 

:rolleyes:

Have fun at Hershey tomorrow :goodvibes

Thanks. I am sure we will take lots of pictures so I will post on Sunday:thumbsup2

You're welcome.:goodvibes I had to use that trick and jack it up to 200% when I was having eye problems
